Hello, my name is Alex. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
I've just put a cake in the oven ready to enjoy as a treat tomorrow. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:14 | |
While it's baking, there's just enough time for a bedtime story. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
It's about someone else who's been doing some cooking. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
Would you like to hear it? | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
Great. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
The story is called Recipe For A Story and it's by Ella Burfoot. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:31 | |
I am going to cook a book. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
I'll break some thoughts into cup. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
I'll beat them, whisk them, mix them up. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
I'll weigh out the words - just enough - | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
choosing the right ones can be tough. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
The small ones go into the pot. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
He, she, it, when and what. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
I'll drop some big words from a height. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
Elephant, crocodile, dynamite! | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
Now that my story has begun, I'll cut out characters one by one. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:10 | |
Feelings, colours, sounds, a picture, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
all add flavour to my mixture. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
I'll add a watery word or two. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
I'll pour them in and stir them through. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Splish, splosh, splash. Drip or sprinkle. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
Glug and gurgle. Squelch and tinkle. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
Now, I'll put a lid on it, wait a while, let it sit. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
It's not until I roll it out that I'll find out what it's all about. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
And now I'll lay it in the tin, so my characters can jump in. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
Next - the middle, the action, the filling - | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
into the pan without any spilling. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
Now, all I'll do is simply add a spoon of good | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
and a pinch of bad. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Turn up the heat, let the bubbles quicken | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
and then my plot begins to thicken. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
Every sentence will taste much better if I add a full stop | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
and a capital letter. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
But where did I put them? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
I've seen them myself, here they are in the cupboard on the top shelf. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:22 | |
Lastly, the ending. I'll press it down and add decoration all around. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:30 | |
I will glaze with happiness, leave it to cook, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
then bake it, brown it and finish my book. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
I turn the pages and I can tell that my recipe has turned out well. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:44 | |
I've done everything that I need to make my story a delicious read. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:50 | |
That was Recipe For A Story. I hope you enjoyed it. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:56 | |
Now that you've found out how to make a story, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
it's time to you to go to bed. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
I hope you cook up some sweet dreams! | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
Sleep tight. I'll see you again soon. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 |
